Four Spirit Teachers | Introduction | Forword | Next Chapter | Previous Chapter
Tonight my friends, we are coming close to what the orthodox churches celebrate as the death and the rebirth of Jesus the Nazarene. It is encouraging when you yourselves can learn much from this, whether you believe it as truth or merely as a legend. Jesus died so say the orthodox, in order to redeem the sins of mankind. No one can redeem the sins of another, this is one of the laws of God, as we many times have told you. You are fully responsible for what you do in this life upon earth. Jesus came to earth, not as a god, but as a man, a human being like any one of you. But a human being who determined to give to mankind that knowledge of God and of the purpose of living which he knew to be true; knew that the God Spirit was a god of compassion and of love and not the vengeful being of the Jewish nation. Jesus taught that man should love rather than avenge, that he should live at peace one with the other, that nations should not war with nations; neighbours should be indeed neighbourly. The kingdom of the God Spirit is a kingdom of light and of love, it is based on understanding and tolerance of each other. The realization of the unity of God, that each nation, each belief, each creed does not have a separate God, but the God Spirit, the Creator of life is universal.
That no matter what men may believe or profess to believe, life is continuous, there is no end to life, one cannot destroy because the spirit of man is immortal and not only the spirit of man, but all living creatures. For as we have told you many many times, God lives in all things. Try to imagine this formless mind which is God, rid yourselves of the belief that God is a glorified edition of man. Man cannot ever conceive of anything greater or wiser than himself and therefore gave this image to God, but God is not a form, It is an envelopment of all creation. For this Spirit of Light is present in you, in every cell of light, in every planet, in the ether, throughout the universe, for without this spark of life there would be but void. There is a pattern to life upon earth, there is a pattern to the web of creation, for all life is dependent, not only upon its own kind but upon all the remaining life upon earth. Wherever there is life it is interconnected.
Man is beginning to come to this understanding, to the realization that he is not alone, that he is not the only dominant factor upon this earth. Beginning to realize the result of his misuse of over many years of the heritage of earth, the birthright which is his. For too long man had lived as a small child believing that the gifts of the God Spirit were toys to be played with. He has been destructive as are children, not realizing that the earth is a cornucopia of goodness, yet that must be replenished. It is not a bottomless pit, it is not a storehouse which will never be diminished and man is beginning to see this, to realize the damage which he has created. Over the years there have been prophets, men who have heard the voice of the God Spirit within them, before Jesus of Nazareth and since. Not only in the land that you yourselves know but wherever mankind has lived throughout the earth, even peoples yet undiscovered. There have been among them messengers of the God Spirit who have tried to turn man back to the natural understanding of his place in life.
My friends let this time of Easter be a time for your own rebirth, a time when you shall consider the many who have gone before you, the many who have devoted their lives to the purpose of bringing God to man, or I should say an understanding of the God Spirit to man. It has seemed to many of them, both a fruitless and a thankless task but nevertheless with the light of faith and of hope they have continued. And I tell you, if the message and the voice reach but one in whom they strike an answering chord, then that life has not been wasted. Jesus spoke in simplicity and in truth giving man hope, giving man faith and yet at his death even he suffered great agony of sorrow and rejection. Why me, why when I have loved should I suffer as I know that I have to. These were the words of his heart, but although his teaching has been overlaid by ritual, although there has been bloodshed in his name and to the shame of those who perpetrate it, for Jesus taught nothing but love. Despite all this there remains in his teaching, - if you would but seek it out - truth, uncomplicated by the ritual. The beginning, the whole meaning of true Christianity is service and giving and love. He taught men how to love, how to forgive each other, how to be indeed a brotherhood and he returned in order to prove to them that there is indeed no death, that man cannot die, for within him is spirit, within him is life, the immortality, the divinity of the God Spirit.
I speak at this time of Jesus because it is a time in which to celebrate both his death and his birth into the world of spirit. But he was not alone, there have been so many messengers and so few ears to listen. The time is coming my friends when again there shall be a great light of God which shall illumine this earth and we prepare the way for this. There are many of us coming in various forms, through mediums such as mine, through clairaudience and clairvoyance, trying to give to you this message of light. We cannot proclaim the time when this shall be, only the certainty that it will be. That there is another great being coming to this earth and that the way should be made smooth, that there shall not be the rejection, the hatred and the fear, because men do fear, they fear truth, they fear simplicity, they fear unity. But gradually this kingdom of the God Spirit shall indeed be made manifest upon this earth and men shall come to the realization that there are not many nations but one for all, each and every one no matter what colour, no matter what belief - are children of the God Spirit. Belief matters not, for this is fact, without the Spirit of Life man could not be. And it is within each one of you to lift up your heads, lift up your hearts and your voices and remember whether you be Christian or not that Jesus the man went willingly to his crucifixion to prove to mankind that life goes on. There is no death. but life and light and love.
Belial
Question. Could you explain to me a quotation from the old testament which reads: 'The sons of Belial, laid down with the daughters of men and therefore wickedness was created'.
Yes my brother, Belial was an ancient name for Lucifer, the devil, the dark spirit. What it really means is that those of the darker side of life made themselves manifest upon this earth. You see it is not so strange because they too have a right to evolve, to incarnate, to reincarnate upon this earth, just as do you. Too often people imagine that at the time of the change you call death, no matter how badly behaved or misguided a being may have been upon earth, they are immediately enlightened and become angelic beings. This is not so. There are those who cling to the power of darkness as hopefully all of you cling on to the power of light.
They believe that through the darkness they will gain materially, that they will gain in happiness, but this is merely gratification of self. These beings go on, just as do you until they come to a realization that this is a wrong pathway. They produce in their turn, children and as you know like inevitably attracts like, therefore those who surround themselves with this aura of darkness win attract to themselves those from the darker side of life upon this side and create more, evil, more darkness, more misunderstanding upon earth. The sons of Belial, it is merely an expression for the darker spirits of this side of life. Does this explain to you?
Could we say it is an allegory then?
Yes. Very much spoken within your bible is indeed allegory, you should learn to discern, to separate as it were fact from fiction. This is why when I speak of Jesus I say that his teaching was simple and was truth, but what was written about him is not always so.
Lucifer
Question. You mentioned Lucifer and we have been lead to believe that he was originally one of the high angels who became proud and greedy. Do the spirits themselves ever have battles, fights and arguments, like we do on earth.
No my friend not really. We have differences of opinion yes, because we upon this side of life are humans who have moved perhaps a little further along the road than you yourselves.
[Here there is a long section of defective tape, which then continues]:
. . . but whenever one seeks to use this power for self-glorification then it turns not light but dark and thus began the darkness. There are always those who seek personal glorification . . .
The place that you inhabit win be determined by what you have been upon earth, those who have created darkness upon earth, those who have committed brutal crimes, who have committed genocide, who have created war and famine and pain and suffering, they cannot bear to live in the light. They have created for themselves a place of darkness from which they cannot emerge until they come to the realization of what they have done upon earth, of what they have caused, until they realize that there is a better way, that there is a way of light. We cannot interfere, we cannot come to them until they desire us to do so. For whether you be of light or of darkness, you are the master of your own destiny, it is not preordained, because that would eliminate personal responsibility.
[Further defect in tape].
A New Messiah
Question. When is there going to be a new coming and is it going to be Jesus or a new messiah who will be accepted by everyone.
The second coming, I cannot give you a certain time, because nothing is determined in that way. We wait, all we know is that this being win come, it has been spoken, it has been decided, but when I cannot say. Nor can I tell you who. I know, yes, that Jesus himself is desirous of returning to earth, but as always it is the will of the God Spirit that we obey and we therefore, just as you must, must wait. You say will he or she be accepted, again one cannot truly be certain. There are those who serve on this side who seek to transmogrify the minds of men, to change at a blow. But having lived many times among men upon earth, having sought both upon earth and upon this side of life to teach them, one inevitably has doubts. There will always be the dissenting few who must eventually come to the realization of the Spirit of God, but we cannot compel them.
Hopefully, shall we say, the majority of mankind will be awake and listening and accepting this Spirit of Life, for the light that is brought will be great. Man for many years now has been seeking, has been trying to understand the universe. They have tried through their technology, through their men of science and progressed very little, very little compared to the amount of time and energy and finance which have been expended upon various projects. And so gradually even your men of science are beginning to seek for something greater, in other words are beginning once again to accept God. To realize that man does not reign supreme upon this earth, that his will is not paramount, that there are laws which cannot be flouted, that God is in fact alive.
Too long man has lived for the material alone and even many among you who have realized that life is a continuous process, have sought to develop the psychic rather than the spiritual part of you. And I tell you it is your spirituality that it is important to develop. Jesus said, and this quote again is truth: 'Seek first the kingdom of God and all things shall be added unto you'. In other words if you divert your spiritual awareness, your own spirituality, your own understanding of the laws of God, then the psychic powers will develop, the gifts which are God given. But these gifts must not be misused, they are not for material gain, they are gifts which must be shared among you, which must be used for the benefit of all mankind.
Animal Evolution
Question. Can you tell us something about the evolution of animals and can they reincarnate as a different form of life.
All forms of life are evolving, not only animals, but what you would term lesser forms of life. For in every object there is life, in every grain of sand there is life, the very earth upon which you tread is alive. This the primitive tribes understand far better than you who are ‘civilized'. They are at one with nature and therefore with the Spirit of God. Each form of life progresses upwards, it will evolve from very humble beginnings to the next step. This moves throughout the animal kingdom, the very tiny insects and what you would call insignificant little beings, merge into a group soul and so it goes on. Animals - mammals, I take it that you mean - they will go on and on, they will evolve eventually just as do you.
Further question. Could they by chance cross into the human kingdom.
Certainly they can cross into the human kingdom, but do they always want to, for is the human kingdom so much gentler, so much kinder. Many of those who live as animals upon your earth plane would strongly disagree, for the treatment they receive at the hands of men is far less than human. Man is the greatest predator upon this earth, he has for so long been a destroyer, not only of the animal kingdom, but of the environment in which you all live. Many of their higher forms of life within the animal kingdom are indeed very close to the God Spirit and have a great understanding. Man believes that he is the only creature capable of logical thought, that is not so. For many of the higher animals certainly do not work by instinct alone. They are capable of both love and of hatred, of fear, of joy, of anger, just as are you.
The love of a mother for its offspring often reaches far beyond that of human mothers in that they will willingly give their lives to save their young. I could go on, but man must realize eventually the value of the other creatures which inhabit this earth, that they too go on, that they too have spirits, have souls which will continue, which will evolve as does man. Many form into groups on this side, many merge and we believe beyond the spheres from which none have returned, we also will do. That we will merge again into the mind of God. But this my friends is theory, let none tell you that it is fact, for we do not know. The end, the finality we cannot tell; if we are honest we cannot ten. It is a belief which I feel myself is logical, because of this merging of souls that we will eventually merge back to our beginnings.
[Here there was another question on corn circles. The questioner mentioned that these phenomena not only appeared as circles but in other patterns like Roman standards, amphitheatres and certain carvings from the Forum in Rome, etc. Here Manyomin replied]:
My sister, my brother Marcus is present and he says to give you his greetings, but to tell you that the Romans were responsible for many things, but not for this. [Laughter].
Epilogue
Well my friends, once again I thank you for your questions and for your love, for your understanding and for your patience. And now if you will permit me, I will close with a prayer to the God Spirit.
O Spirit of Life, Thou being of light, Thou who enterist into the minds of each one of us, let Thy light shine before these Thy children. Giving unto them wisdom, giving them a sure pathway through the travail of this earth. May they each one seek to perform Thy will, seek to do Thy service, seek to spread Thy word, seek to develop Thy gifts and in turn to give them. That all may see and know that truth is there. Let them, not believe, but know Thy truth, let each one be a, beacon of light shining through the darkness that surrounds this earth, giving unto mankind an understanding and a wisdom which they so sadly lack. O Father God, let peace reign upon this earth, let the tyrants be dispelled, let there be love and understanding, compassion and tolerance for the views and the cultures of other nations. Let each one seek to live in peace with his neighbour, that Thy kingdom may be made manifest now, here and now upon this earth. That Thy ministering ones may dwell within the hearts of mankind, may bring them into the realization of Thy truth and of Thy glory.
May the God Spirit my friends walk with you all. Good night and God bless you.
